Carex Everest (3Ltr Pot)

Carex Everest (Carex oshimensis ‘Everest’) is an evergreen, clump-forming Japanese sedge valued for its neat, arching tufts of variegated foliage—deep green leaves edged clean white—that bring year-round brightness to containers, edging and rock gardens. Best in partial to full shade and in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, it is fully hardy and low maintenance, forming compact mounds around 30–40 cm tall and wide. In spring it produces inconspicuous brown flower spikes; simply remove any tired leaves in late winter to keep the clumps looking fresh.

Position Position: Partial to full shade
Growth Rate of Growth: Moderate
Soil Soil: Moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil
